Hope you had a good Christmas

 Hope you all had a good Christmas guys.


21 heritage Irish apple trees we phantom planted yesterday. Me and my right hand man have been planting trees every Christmas day now for the past many years. We even had another helper who joined us too. The young lad was out on his new bike and I asked him did he want to plant a tree. He was well up for it! He now has his own apple tree at our orchard to visit anytime. Great Christmas day memory with a difference it will be for this young lad.


Thats 66 apple trees I've phantom planted in the past few weeks with another 352 to go! 

All will be getting phantom planted about the country. It gives me more pleasure going back in years to come tracking down all my trees than it would be to sell these. I have watched my mate sell his half of the trees and turn into thousands and dont get me wrong, it did cross my mind to sell mine. But no, thats just when greed sets in. I make enough money from my wee mattress business. This has always put the bread and butter on my table. 

This page is about raising community spirit and promoting much needed selfless action in the world today.

In Buddhism it is forbidden to profit from the Dharma as it can corrupt your pure intention with greed and turn your path to liberation in the opposite direction.

My work for nature is my Dharma practice.

I trust the Dharma will always look after me. 


This year will be the most amount of apple trees I've ever planted in one season. Next year I wont be producing so much though, more so I am going to concentrate on the linage and genetics, looking for really old healthy heritage apple trees and propagating scions/cuttings from them. Quality over quantity.


I am also going more into propagating cuttings from really old native yews, hollys and junipers.

Just like my collection of all the oldest oaks in the UK and Ireland. I have several really old yew, holly and juniper trees in mind that I'm keen to keep the linage and genetics alive.


Really going to put a lot of effort into learning about propagating cuttings. Love the idea of having yew trees grown from trees that are 5000 year old. The yew tree of Annagh is just one I have in mind.

Will get back over to the Fortingall yew again too, said to be one of the oldest trees in the world. The oldest Irish yew in Florence Court is another on my list too.


I challenge you all to phantom plant a tree 


Peace and love

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with ...

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup...
